Vanwege Fragmentarische Aard (101) (Because of a Fragmentic Nature (101)

When it’s raining the photographer can use an umbrella to protect his camera and himself (in that order). People use a lot of umbrellas when the rain falls down.
I love to use umbrellas as an strange photographic object.
I already did that when I started my photographic career. The upper picture I made in 1983, working for the Amsterdam Arts Council on a project called “Umbrella Weather”.
The image underneath I made 2 days ago strolling around in Brussels. Because I am pretty tall, I can look from above at many umbrellas. Nowadays they have the most fantastic colors and designs.
Up: Amsterdam. Museumplein. 1983.
Under: Brussels. 12/4/8. 15.52 pm.
